"I forgot to mention that the shorts were so comfortable that I didn't have any of the usual soreness that you get on long rides of 125+ miles. And they fit right, so no sagging or bunching. I am looking forward to a summer of comfort in the saddle."
"I must have 6 or 8 brands of cycling shorts in my drawer. As I sort them out and try them out in preparation for La Marmotte (Croix de Fer, Telegraphe, Galibier, Alpe d'Huez) ahead of le Tour on 09 July, I want you to know how WONDERFUL your Boure' Elites feel. They are substantial-weight fabric, the fit is "just right" and the faux chamoix insert is terrific, even compared to Pearl Izumi's vaunted (but "fake") new insert. The highest compliment I can give these shorts is that I don't think about them during my rides. Thank dog I bought a regular pair and a "bib" pair (so I can look even MORE like a Euro geek cyclist on my eye-talian frame)."
"And I can tell you that, despite the great team gear that I have and use, when I do doubles I use Boure shorts and only Boure shorts. I know that I am faster because of the clothing."
"The 400 km ride went well. A beautiful ride. It was HOT. Wow. I had used your knickers with a pad previously and liked them. I had deceided to get the shorts (though I'm a wool guy) due to the heat. Even with the heat and sweating and 250 miles of cycling the shorts were great. I didn't suffer any of the discomfort usually associated with long rides. We were following a cue sheet, the route had some significant climbs and I stayed behind with a cyclist to help him through the evening portion of the ride. It was nearly a 23 hour day. I am so glad I thought to order them and that they arrived the day I left Boulder."
"Love your shorts! I took a pair of Elite shorts on a recent PAC Tour (Elite transcon) and I ended up washing the Boure shorts every day because the others were not working for me for 170 miles per day for 17 days straight."

Frequently Asked Questions
1. I saw a review of your products and they talked about your chamois being thinner than others. Can you explain to me the differences in your chamois inserts and how they work?
3. I recently finished a 460 mile bike ride in six days. I developed saddle sores that got infected and the last couple of days were miserable. I'm trying to find a solution and everybody has ideas. I'm currently trying a new saddle and have adjusted the way I sit in the saddle.
